Hi,
I am working on a project involving input signal in the 3-5 GHz range. For the rectifier circuit, I wanted to use the BAS70-04FILM diode by ST. Is that suitable for the given frequency range though? Else is there any alternative for the same?
Thanks & regards,
Ritoo

Hi,
you can try it - any Schottky diode will work in some way... a 70V diode is more for power supply etc.
but you should take a real RF-diode, if you want more, than just "works a bit" .
This is a rf diode:
or many others, like :

here a real fast one, expensive also:

But to get to 5GHz - is not easy.
What it should do ? Check RF level? Small signal, big - how many mV ?
